Hunza, Pakistan
How long do the people live?
The life expectancy of the average Westerner is about 70
years. The life expectancy of the average Hunza falls onto a
different scale altogether - these people reach both physical
and intellectual maturity at the venerable age of one hundred.
Where do they live, and what is their environment like?
They call themselves the Hunzas and live in what has come to
be known as the roof of the world - the mountain peaks of the
Himalayas.
What is their diet?
Hunzas eat only two meals a day. Their diet is composed of
grains: barley, millet, buckwheat and wheat. They also eat
fruits and vegetables on a regular basis. Milk and cheese are
important sources of animal protein. The important thing to
remember is that although the Hunzas are not wholly
vegetarian, meat forms a minimal part of their daily diet.
What is their lifestyle?
What do they do that is different from what most people do?
Walking for an hour each day, something most people can
manage, is excellent for both your body and your mind. In
fact, walking is the simplest, least costly and most accessible
form of exercise there is.
